Glitter freckles will be the star of our holiday season

The impact of Taylor Swift on the world of fashion and beauty is undeniable. Each of her public appearances, especially during the Chiefs' games, becomes a trendsetting event. The latest proof of this influence came with the adoption of glitter freckles, a seemingly simple detail that triggered a real obsession among her fans. During a football game, supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce, Taylor opted for a casual yet flawless look. Her classic makeup, with cat-eye eyeliner and red lipstick, was enhanced with a touch of glitter on her cheeks and nose. The sparkle freckles resemble a shower of stars across the face, instantly catching everyone’s attention.

Freckles go glittery: Here's how Taylor Swift achieves them and their effect

Wearing Fazit Makeup Patches, Swift catapulted this small brand into the beauty spotlight. The immediate sell-out of products and the surge of requests surprised and moved founders Nina LaBruna and Aliett Buttelman, who suddenly found themselves handling unexpected popularity. In early October, Fazit reported selling over a million dollars’ worth of product in 48 hours. This means about 3,500% more people flaunted glitter freckles compared to the previous month. With Halloween and its sparkling looks, those numbers only continued to grow.

How to Use Glitter Freckle Patches

We already discussed freckles and their rise in the beauty world, but we've never seen them like this before. The Glitter Freckles are shaped like nose strips and labeled as "patches," but they are essentially luxury temporary tattoos. The brand’s co-founders claim they're made with the same non-toxic ingredients used for children's products, including acrylates copolymer, cellulose acetate butyrate, and glycine soja oil, with the addition of some moisturizing elements. Buttelman and LaBruna created the patches because they found glitter powders and stickers challenging to apply, aiming for better quality than typical adhesive tattoos.

Why Are They So Loved?

• Versatile: They suit any type of makeup, from the most natural to the most elaborate.
• Customizable: Available in various shapes, colors, and sizes, allowing for a unique and personalized look.
• Easy to Apply: They go on just like simple temporary tattoos, requiring no special skills.

Glitter freckles are easily found online on websites specializing in makeup and beauty accessories. Taylor Swift chose Fazit's Makeup Patches, but there are many other brands and styles to explore.

How to Create a Look with This Trend

Glitter freckles are a fun and original way to add a touch of sparkle to your makeup, perfect for a special occasion or just to feel a little more like a rockstar. From a cocktail party with friends to a football game or a themed event, this trend will give you an extra edge.

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a good base, applying primer and foundation.
2. Choose the Location: Glitter freckles can be applied to the nose, cheekbones, eyes, or wherever you prefer.
3. Apply the Tattoos: Follow the instructions on the packaging and apply the temporary tattoos.
4. Set It: For longer wear, fix the glitter freckles with a light layer of setting spray.

How to Complete Your Makeup

Choose shimmery eyeshadow and glossy lipstick to enhance the sparkling effect. To remove makeup patches (or any type of temporary tattoo, glitter, or gem applied with adhesive), you'll need oil, such as coconut oil, or an oil-based cleanser. Start by covering the area with oil or cleanser, then massage it until the design or adhesive dissolves. Add warm water to emulsify, keep massaging, and rinse thoroughly. Afterward, wash your face as usual. Depending on the type of oil or cleanser used, you might opt for a final wash with a foaming cleanser to remove any oily residue or remnants of the dissolved makeup patch. Glitter freckles are the perfect blend of glamour and originality, two elements today's it-girls love. They’re also a way to express creativity and feel unique.
